FAQ

fancyBox looks different after upgrading to 1.1

This plugin mistakenly had fancyBox 2 included. Non-GPL software is not allowed on the WordPress repo (fancyBox 2 is licensed under Creative Commons). It has now been replaced with fancyBox 1, which is GPL compatible. If you’d like to add fancyBox 2 back into the plugin, simply download this free plugin

Reviews

…from the native WP image gallery. Why use this?
You cannot jump from one image to the other. The gallery just adds the images to your page with a link to the full sized image file….WP can already do that out-of-the-box.
An image gallery should have the feature of moving from one picture the other in full-size!

Hi,once add a photo to gallery and remove it and add it again and remove it do it again and again.After that add one more image and remove.Finally remove all the images and save.You can find all the images are getting saved from the comma seperated hidden variable “image_gallery”.I fixed from my end please find the same for comment below.

Very easy to use plug-in that does the job. One thing I’ve noticed is that it’s slightly off centre. I had a single image above which was centralized and then a gallery of 2×2 images below and it was noticeable. Tried centralizing in the editor but it does nothing. I’m sure there’s a simple fix for this.
